  1. Office nursing = secretary

    sistasoul posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else feels like a secretary more than a nurse working in an MD's office. Between chasing prior authorizations for procedures and meds and filling out forms it does not...

  2. Have we lost the "art" of nursing?

    sistasoul replied to Barbara Hunter's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I really enjoy my patients (most of them) and have precious little time to spend with them because of the exact statement above. I feel very sad over

    sistasoul replied to kickme's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That is great but my assistant nurse managers all have their own patient assignments as well as charge nurse duties. And besides that, who is going to doing the work that needs to be done during the...

    sistasoul replied to kickme's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You must feel a huge sense of relief. Good for you and yes- life is too short. I am changing jobs to be an office nurse on Sep 3. I am so relieved to get away from the hospital med surge stress I have...

  7. Anyone working two nursing jobs?

    sistasoul replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I used to work 60 hours a week for 7 years but not as a nurse. I could not do it because the mental and emotional strain are too much and there is too much at stake. I know of people who have tried...

  8. Does anyone hate working as an office nurse for PCPs?

    sistasoul posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hi All, After one year of filling out applications and going on interviews I have finally landed a job working for a group of 8 internal med docs. I start the day after labor day and I feel blessed to...

    sistasoul replied to S.G.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  10. Debilitating Anxiety

    sistasoul replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi SleepyRN, First off I want to offer my congratulations on finishing nursing school when you suffer from anxiety. I also have really bad anxiety and barely made it through NS so I know the...

  11. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    sistasoul replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know. Everyone else is useless. I had a RT come get me to go into a precaution room because the patients phone wasn't working. Do you think she could have checked to see that it was not plugged into...

    sistasoul posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi All, I am having a second interview at an 8 MD internal medicine office but this time with a couple of the nurses. It almost sounds like I will be shadowing these nurses. Does anyone have any...

  14. Bye Bye Floor Nursing

    sistasoul replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in General Nursing

    I just interviewed for at an internal medicine job for an RN. I know it is less money but my sanity and stress level are so high even thinking about going into the hospital to do a shift that the...

  15. Burned out already

    sistasoul replied to LaceyRN12's topic in General Nursing

    I know. It is like no one can problem solve but the nurse. I had to deal with a patient's broken cane a few days ago. That is not in my job description but you bet that fell into my lap to deal with....

  16. Burned out already

    sistasoul replied to LaceyRN12's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the same boat. I have a finance/business degree and my nursing degree. Would love to be able to combine the two and get away from the bedside. I would never be a nurse manager because I do not...

  17. Burned out already

    sistasoul replied to LaceyRN12's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Mom to 4, I am so envious. I wish I could quit and go back to school full time but I am single without any other means of support. Good for you! I am 47 and I work with quite a few nurses in their...

  18. Burned out already

    sistasoul replied to LaceyRN12's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for all of 5 years. I am looking for something out of the hospital or a job out of the nursing field. In 36 years of working I have never felt like this about any job. I absolutely...

    sistasoul posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi all, I have an interview at a primary care office as an office nurse. I would love to get this job and get away from the hell that is the bedside. I love being a nurse and taking care of my...

  21. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    sistasoul replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do think that all departments in the hospital have it tough but the buck stops with the nurses. If the other departments are slow getting the patients tests, labs, breathing treatments, PT, OT,...

    sistasoul replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If only nurses had time to fix people's hair. I would love to be able to do that but when I am gulping down a sandwich on the run no one is getting their hair fixed if I don't have time to take a...

  24. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    sistasoul replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What I don't understand is how can they even ask this? If it was just once every so often I could rationalize it to where they had a busy day but it is all of the time. I would love to say please stop...

  25. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    sistasoul replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand what you are saying but the nurses are the ones that are questioned about why these tasks are not done. Some of these stat orders as we all know are critical and need to be done within a...
